My view about public transport fares is contained in this statement

I regret that the Public Transport Council has given approval for the fare increases at this time, while service levels have not yet been improved. I hope that the operators will follow through with the improvement in service for commuters by increasing the capacity of the bus and trains and provide shorter waiting and travelling times and more comfort for commuters.

I also hope that the public transport operators to give more concessions to the elderly, school children and the poor.
